Front Porch Forum just accepted an invitation from co-organizer Micah Sifry to speak at the Personal Democracy Forum on May 18 in New York City. Wow! What an honor and opportunity.

This will be a great event. Speaking or in attendance…

The conference is May 18 at Pace University. I’ll write about the experience here. [...]
